Question
which type of network can be secured entirely through physical safeguards? (1 point) ○ lan ○ wlan ○ wan ○ vpn
A LAN (Local Area Network) typically operates within a limited physical area (e.g., a single building or campus). Physical safeguards like locking the server room, restricting access to network cables, and using physical security for devices (e.g., locking workstations) can effectively secure it as the network is confined to a specific physical space. A WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) uses wireless signals which can be intercepted without physical access. A WAN (Wide Area Network) spans large geographical areas and can't rely solely on physical security. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a virtual connection and needs encryption and other non - physical security measures.
